How to make your bedroom more comfortable

Whether you are moving into a new house or looking to redecorate, you might be thinking of ways you can make each room more comfortable.

When thinking strictly about the bedroom, there are lots of things you can do to make the room where you sleep super comfy.

Here we look at a few different ways you can make your bedroom more comfortable.

Think About the Windows

You might not think of windows as an important part of the room, especially when it comes to making it more comfortable to be in, but comfort runs much deeper than a few cushions. You should consider each element of the room if you want to make your comfier.

Your windows are included in the things you should consider; especially the décor you choose for your windows.

Replacing old blinds can be a positive step, turning to something more modern to give your windows a new lease of life. Black-out blinds are a great idea if you rely on having total darkness to get to sleep, while thick, fabric curtains should be considered to add an extra cosy feel.

Floor-length curtains can help to add extra-comfort - especially if the space below your bedroom window is blank. Even if you have a radiator below your bedroom window, thick curtains will help to add warmth and comfort.

Consider the Lighting

Lighting can have a huge impact on a room and how it feels. Quite often, the lighting in a room can be under-appreciated or not even thought about regarding how comfortable a room is to be in. The lighting can, in fact, play a remarkable role in setting the mood to make a room more comfortable and relaxing.

By switching to new bulbs with a warm tinge, you can go a long way towards making your room feel cosier. You could even consider a dimming switch that allows you to reduce the brightness of your bulbs at certain times.

Using standing lamps instead of the ‘big light’ on your ceiling can provide an alternative light source to help you wind down. Creatively placed fairy lights will also help you to change the setting, wrapped around the bed or other key pieces of furniture.

Finally, candles offer another (economical) way of adding a calming effect to the room, which can help to make it seem more comfortable. Position a few of your favourite scented candles around your bedroom to take comfort to the next level.

Experiment with Textiles

Think about the different textures you can use to enhance comfort. If you have a hard floor, why not add a fluffy rug to the floor alongside your bed? Waking up to feel a new comfort on your feet is a great way to start the day.

Cushions, throws and blankets are obvious ways to add comfort to your bed, but if you want to take things to the next level, you could always opt for a different fabricated headboard. If your headboard is hard, look for online DIY tutorials that will show you how to upgrade it yourself, without spending money on a new one.

Textiles obviously play a huge role in how a comfortable a room is, so if you think your bedroom isn’t comfortable enough, think about how you can introduce different textures that will enhance the physical comfort you feel when you are in your bedroom.

It’s all in the Scent

As well as thinking about the way your room looks and feel, you should also consider the way it smells on entry. Sometimes all your room needs to feel more welcoming is a new scent, whether that be calming lavender or something more seasonal.

New smells can really enhance the atmosphere in a room. Kill too birds with one stone by using scented candles to change the lighting and add new smells to your favourite room.

Wax melts or diffusers are other alternatives you might want to consider making your bedroom smell nice.


The level of comfort in your bedroom might also come down to how neat and tidy it is. Thinking about how things are stored and laid out around the room can have an impact on comfort levels too. A sliding wardrobe is one of the best ways of storing your possessions neatly to keep your bedroom tidy. Different compartments for clothes, accessories, shoes and other possessions makes sliding wardrobes the perfect addition to any bedroom where storage is an issue. A neat and tidy bedroom is generally a more comfortable one, so take the time to think about what you can do to keep your bedroom tidy.
